Sprint Planning

Sprint Planning is time-boxed to 8 hours for a one-month Sprint (proportionally less for shorter Sprints). It addresses two questions: What can be delivered in this Sprint? How will the chosen work get done? The Product Owner presents the highest-priority backlog items and proposes a Sprint Goal. The Developers select items they can commit to and create a plan (the Sprint Backlog) for delivering them. The Sprint Goal provides coherence and focus — it gives the team flexibility in how they deliver while maintaining a clear objective.
